Yesss. Our cousins can be a pain. The poop is good and washable. They're working on my grapes (Yeah, yeah, bird tape; they aren't that impressed; actually, the hummers are attracted, not a bad thing). I've been bagging my Tunisian sorghum (they totally cleaned it out last year), and am thinking of putting tissue-paper collars on my grapes next year. I'm thinking a tunnel for rice. I'm on a major fly-way for migratory birds, and it can be irritating, given that virtually nobody else in the valley provides the smorgasbord that I do. I think I'm about the only salad bar in about a hundred miles of fly-way. I'm sure the birds appreciate me, but jeese, Louise! You'd think they'd intuitively understand the "golden goose" thing. That's why you stake out a little corner, away from the main growing plots, and plant it to buckwheat...birds love it, it grows very quickly and is pretty prolific. Then net, bag, tape the hell out of everything else and not feel bad about it.

Miyanishiki, Quella, and Furu Wase Akage are heading up; the gopher, having been pissed on, seems to have pissed off.

Did you get anything from the Hayayuki?

Weird. I had entered a post saying it looked like nothing from anything, which you seem to have answered, but it isn't here.
